After much debate, the School Committee voted this morning to keep salaries flat for 19 administrators next year, removing $60,000 from the proposed education budget.

Thanks to the salary move, federal stimulus money, consolidation of services and savings this year, the schools are now seeking $495,000 from selectmen to avoid laying off teachers and cutting services and programs. They had previously asked for an extra $800,000.

Selectmen meet Monday night and are expected to vote on a town-wide budget that includes the schools. Board Chairman Brian Herr and interim Town Manager Clayton Carlisle have indicated that the schools will likely receive the requested funding boost.
